The biggest shift in attitudes toward the Iraq War came among Republicans and those who lean to the GOP. In 2011, 65% of them said the war had succeeded; now just 38% do. A double-digit gap between Republican and Democrat views in 2011 has now been largely erased.

But the poll showed that 52 percent of Republicans still believe it was the right decision to invade Iraq in 2003.

Overall, 52 percent of Americans said that the U.S. has mostly failed to achieve its goals in Iraq — a change from 2011, when 56 percent said the U.S. had mostly succeeded.
